At that moment ID was borne in on tho
civilians mind that there WINS mistake. He
turned about with jump, and made for the

him, Gen. Nelson after. A shout OF laughter
from thousand throats greeted tho civilian

Gen. Nelson was killed at the Calf house,

Davis beyond all self control. Nelson. who
was very large and powerful man, had
slapped Davis in the face. He is buried ut

came and they were assigned to the thinned

ready to move once moro against Bragg,
Buell. had an army of 100000 men. 1t was
divided into three CORDS commanded respec-

he should have been more vigorous in action,
that he should have forced Bragg to battle

at Washington took this view of it and re-
lieved Buell. from command and put Thomas
in his place the last of September. Thomas,
however, demonstrated earnestly against this
and the order was revoked Thomas had noe,
ut this time confidence in his own power to

The next day, Oct. |, Buell. took command

began the hunt after Bragg. He had 100000

DOUBLING UP THE TRAINS.
The Change to Go Into Efect the Middle
of Next Month.

Notwithstanding all reports to the con.
trary, and in face of the fact that the
rolling stock at present at the command
OF the company is not able to cope with
the business, the report that an extra
passenger train is to be put on each way
by the Union Pacific seems to be well
founded. Locomotives for use on the
road are now being turned out as rapidly
as possible. The proof of a time card has
already been received here by Superin-
tendent Wurtele. 1t states that the new
order of Things will go into effect on Nov.
IL. The local time schedule, although
still subject to slight revision, is as fol.
lows: The westbound train, which now
arrives here at $40 in the evening, will,
after the date mentioned, reach here at
about o The second train, bound
west, will reach here shortly after G
O'Clock in the morning. Both of these
trains will have Denver connections, which
will prove a great boon to the business
people of Cheyenne.
The eastbound train, No. 9, will reach
here about the usual time, 10:l5 in the
morning, while the second eastbound train
will arrive about 9:45 in the evening.

HE DON'T WANT 1T.

man & Miller, as a gentleman who would
be likely to know something about the
matter, and interviewed him upon the
subject. Mr.. Miller had heard the re.
port, but could not vouch for its correct.
ness. He stated that Boil, being a popu,
lar nan and the owner of a lucrative
business in his home, would hardly accept
the office unless it was with the idea that
his health, which was very poor, would be
benefited by the change.
The appointee is a man of considerable
ability and sterling integrity, and his EN-
igration to Wyoming would be a valuable
acquisition to the territory. In view Of
this it is hoped that the gentleman will
not refuse to qualify at an early date.
Under the most favorable circumstances
it is hardly probable that the Buffalo
Office will be in readiness for the transac
ton of business before the expiration of
the present year.. A large portion of the
record will necessarily be taken from doc
uments in the Cheyenne land office, the
copying of which would occupy fully two
months.

THE INQUEST.
The C~OrOner's Jury Fin that Bryanps
Death Was Caused by Accident.

A %coroner's jury consisting of the fol-
lowing named gentlemen held an inquest
over the remains of the late Ed. Bryant
at the Wyoming block yesterday: Fore
man, Frank Miller; VIM. Hosford, N. J..
O'Brien. j. R. Junk, Milton Taylor and
A. RinGolsky. But two witnesses were
examined, Chas. Miller, partner of the
dead man, and DR.. Grimes, the medical
attendant. The testimony of the former
substantially agreed with his statement
concerning the mysterious tragedy as pub
lished in this journal Yesterday. Intent
upon removing his friend from the bot
tom of the shaft SO soon as possible, he
did not observe the surroundings of the
PROSTATE man, but distinctly remembered
viewing the broken board which had lain
near the mouth of the shaft when he
left it.
The physicians deposition was in the
main of a technical nature, though lucid
ly explained by the witness. He testified
that the front portion of the skull was
shattered by violent contact with a
smooth fiat surface. In his opinion
the injury could not have been
sustained by the falling of the man
or striking of a stone upon the head.
Neither was it possible that the wound
could have been made while the deceased
was at the surface and his body thrown
into the shaft. As a physician he would
say that it was highly improbable thai
Bryant spoke nationally after the occur
renee of the terrible accident.
No testimony was introduced with 6
view to establishing that Bryant's death
was not the result of an accident, the Jury
considering that such a procedure was
unwarranted. 1t is well known that vic.
lent threats have been made against the
men employed or the Salisbury by Other
miners in the camp, an. it is not unnatu.
raj that Miller, when terribly excited,
should hint that there had been fouI
play.
After celebrating a few minutes the
Jury returned a verdict to the effect thai
in their belief death had been caused by
the accidental falling Of a timber upon the
head of deceased.
The funeral of Ed. Bryant will occur
from the Wyoming block at l:3O O'Clock
this afternoon.

Yes, sir, he is as mad as a March

they were standing on Sixteenth street,
yesterday. The object of this remark
had Just passed up the street, and ever on
the alert for news the reporter followed
him. He was a gentleman of the well
to do class. In his hand he held a book
tightly ~clasped, and as he scanned the
signs he muttered 1902 and 3O4. Yes,
that is it," aud as he came opposite
Hellman's clothing store he broke into a
laugh. As he passed through the door
he said to himself: 81 may be stark mad
or crazy, but | am not loony enough to
pay double prices elsewhere when | can
buy so cheap at Hellman's."

SHE AIDED MCCOY.
Emma Riggs Arrested, Charged with
Assisting in the OutIa WIS Escape.

An arrest was made in the West End
last evening by the sheriff and two as
sistants which will probably be the cause
OF learning more about the recent Jail de-
livery and events Immediately following
the deplorable occurrence than has been
suspected by anyone.
Emma Riggs, who arrived from the
North the previous evening is the sus-
pect who defed and struggled with three
able bodied men before allowing herself
to be placed in the female ward of the
county Jail.
That the arrest was made and that the
woma resisted and whistled for aid was
learned from parties who witnessed the
affair. That the woman vas interested in
Mccoy is well known, and it is believed
that she is charged with assisting in his
flight, knowing that he was a fugitive
from justice, a crime the punishment for
which is quite severe.
The entire proceedings and surround
lngs are shrouded in mystery. The woman
formed the acquaintance OF Mccoy at
Lusk, but it is not known that she ever
visited him IL Jail. She was present at
the trial, however, and was known to be
a sym%pathizer of the prisoner. The woman
fought the officers ~savagely when cap
tured after vaulting a fence. Among
other effects she carried a revolver, but
did not attempt to use the weapon. She
has been seen about the streets with COW
boys at various times, and was horseback
riding with a ranger Yesterday morning.

The Union Pacific Fast Train.
GOmaha Bee.


There seems to have been some change
with regard to the intention of the Union
Pacific and the proposed fast train across
the continent. 1t has all along been held
that the road was not sufficiently well
equipped for the enterprise, that the in
novation would not be a paying one, and
in fact that there was no necessity for
another train, because the present ones
were sufficient to accommodate the pat.
ronage which is now, however, said to be
very great. Yesterday a well informed
gentleman, who is close to Mr.. Potter,
announced hat he had reason to change
his mind since, with respect to the PIT.
ting on of fast trains, since Mr.. Potter
went to San Francisco. Before that, he
did not expect the trains to run until
some time next spring, but he now felt
that they would be put on earlier, and in
all probability by the middle of Novem-
Der. 1t is understood, he claims, that all
the arrangements for this change are now
perfected and that trains leave here on
schedule time by way Of the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific roads reach San Fran
cisco sixteen hours earlier than al present.

Petty Acts OF Injustice Which Frequently
Make Social Life a Burden.
Selhshness as irritating as the grasp
ing OF the best seat and best light and
best novel and first chance at book OF
newspaper, can be met with at every
turn in many families; the selishness,
let us say. that. having views on any
question conflicting with the views of
another, will give voice to those views
in season and out of season and obtrude
them even to the injury of the feelings
of others, and if not early and late in
sisting upon them, yet never failing to
read the fragment from book or jour
nal, unpleasantly supporting them, and
indulging in the audible sniff or sheer
or outspoken innuendo, if such thing
there be, on every occasion where the
indulgence is possible, a selfishness
that shows consciousness of the value
of DO ones views but ones own, and
treats the individuality of all others
with contempt. A similar selfshness
is that which disregards engagements,
which considers the promise to be at
home certain day or fixed hour as
of no weight, besides the inconven-
fence of keeping the engagement, and
who IN this manner diSturbs the house
hold arrangements by making meals
wait while servants grow impatient
and unwilling, and eyes grow tired
with watching and ears with listening,
just as much as the almost precisely
opposite selfishness insists upon
the keeping of such promises and
engagements even to the point of posi-
tive discomfort and injury to the other
party, who perhaps can not keep them
without such injury, and could be ex-
cused by one with any unselfish care.
One would find it hard to come to the
end of statement of these small acts of
selfishness which infest the household
and hurt it through burning sense of
the injustice done by them; and it is
question if, with the present imperfec-
ton of human nature, we shall ever
quite escape them; they are as count
less as gnats in a swarm, ana as vexa-
tious. There is but one way to abate
their nuisance, and that is by a fire.
